A fatal ac cident occurred here on Fri day forenoon. Henry Barnum, aged eleven years, obtained revolver from his fathers house. One chamber was loaded with 32-caibre cartridge. He came into the village and met Chester Andrews, lad of his own age, and showed him the revolver. While the Andrews boy was examining it, and snapping it, the cartridge exploded, the bullet striking the Barnum boy in the eye, passing completely through his brain, killing him instantly. The acci- dent occurred in the road in front of the post-office. It was wonder that the Barnum boy had not killed some one. as he was very careless with the revolver, snapping it at several on his way to the village. Dr Sanford, coro- ner for Cornwall, was called immediate ly, and reported accidental shooting. The funeral took place Saturday after noon, at his fathers house. Interment in the Calhoun cemetery. ..

Incidents of MenlOaial Day.

Canaan Valleys patriotism reaches down into their pockets.
 A flag was fastened to the bridle of each horse in the procession. Commander Roberts read statistics which showed that in the National cemeteries alone there are 145, 1000 graves marked Unknown"
 The Clayton band deserves much praise. Their patriotic music was a soul-stirring feature of the occasion. The superb dinner was mainly fur nished by the ladies of Canaan Valley, yet provisions were sent in from outside | the district.
 Comrade J. NJ. Roys, alias "The | Confederate Spy," alias Rev Quacko Strong" made a unique speech, and patty told story about the "howling wilderness.
 There were 10 vehicles in the pro- cession to the lower cemetery near Canaan depot 10 to Ashley Falls IS to Clayton, and 20 from Clayton to Canaan Valley.
 | Comrade J. M. Roys rode nearly 50 miles to gather flowers for the mound marked Unknown" and Mrs Roys worked nearly three days in arranging the flowers into boquets for said mound
 The choicest flowers were deposited on the mound marked "Unknown." This is eminently fitting and appropri- ate, as the thought of loved ones sleep ing in unknown graves awaken the tenderest sympathies of the heart.
 To illustrate how the ranks of the veteran regiments are yearly falling be- fore the 'King of Terrers' 1t is only necessary to mention that among 36 veterans present who answered "roll call'' 24 different regiments were repre- sented.
 The briefest speech was made by Comrade John Rodemeyer. It came from the heart and reached the heart. In response to repeated calls for him, MT Rodemeyer jumped to his feet and said 1: "I am glad that am German I am glad that 1 fought for my country and that flag, (here he grasped the stars and stripes) and would do it again.
 The expenses of the occasion were borne by the residents of Canaan Valley, only 25 cents being contributed outside of that district This is worthy of men, tion, for in recent year the residents of Canaan Valley contributed Sl5.OO to aid another district in observing Memo rial day.
 The town of North Canaan ought annually to make liberal appropria- !, tion for Memorial day, yet we would like to see the following example followed: Birmingham does Memo rial day up in the correct way. They have a citizens association who make |, all arrangements, take charge of exer-
 cises, and invite the Grand Army men to take part as guests. This takes the } burden of the shoulders of the 'old
 vets. :"

Georgia Dialects.

In former days Georgia-that is the great
crackerdom OF Georgia-was settled from
little colonies of other states ard countries.
Thus, each section preserved traces Of the
local dialect spoken in the region whence the
settlers emigrated. In the mountain countries
people say "weuns" and "you'uns,' kin
you'uns tell we'uns the way" etc. In wire
grass Georgia these expressions arc not used
except in rare instances. In the mountains
they call it a chunk O. bread" meaning a
piece. In the wire grass it is chunk o
bread" So it goes. What is common in ose
section is strange in another.
What is said of the whites is especially true
of she negroes. The negroes of the northern
and middle counties speak dialect that IS in
many ways different from the outlandish
gibberish jabbcred by the salt water darkies,
whose gable is about as ineligible as the
chatter of rice birds that infest their own
tide water plantations. And yet the guileless
author will hear a conversation between two
city hacllmen and retire TO his study and
evolve a dialect sketch that is a cross between
the tarwheel twaddle and the talk Of the
typical dude minstrel with formidable shirt
front and burnt cork accomplishments AT
lanta Constitution.
